United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announces that Stephen Godbolt (50, Cross City) has pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) with the intent to distribute it.
Godbolt faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years, up to life, in federal prison. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for September 13, 2024.
According to court documents, on January 31, 2024, Godbolt sold three pounds of methamphetamine to a confidential informant.
After the transaction, law enforcement in Dixie County stopped Godbolt. A search of his vehicle revealed approximately nine additional pounds of methamphetamine, all of which were intended for distribution.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Marion County Unified Drug Enforcement Strike Team (UDEST), and the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office.
It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sarah Janette Swartzberg.
